17/9/24 We had an excellent entry of 16 players for the main event and 4 for the secondary event. We used a Monrad draw to ensure that everyone had several games.

Picture above are some of the entrants w ith George taking an excellent win in the round robin for the secondary event. Glen showed all of his skills in beating Shrey in the final to take the Chapionship.

Congratulations to the team for an excellent second place in the Beds Summer League.

This League had teams of three with Glen, Evan, Thomas abd Stephen playing most times.

We look forward to the Winter League which starts in early October.

Evan & Stephen Triumph

LDSC helds its annual Doubles Tournament as a round robin event this year to provide plenty of action for the parricipating teams. After three rounds the result hung on the match between Evan and Stephen against Glen and Thomas. This produced some excellent squash but the match changed when Glen pulled up with a leg injury. He decided to continue, looking after the back left of the court. Thomas did a superb job covering the remaining three quarters but they narrowly lost 17-15 in the deciding set.

One picture shows action from their match. The other ome shows Angie Simms having presented the Chris Simms Trophy to the winners with Glen and Thomas resplendent in their LDSC shirts holding the Pete Hilliard Trophy.

Following entry fees, donations and costs, LDSC were able to donate £100 to the Keech Hospice in memory of Chris and Pete.

Second !!

After a hesitant start, the team went from strength to strength and achieved second place in Beds League 2 in their first year. They won 10 matches, lost 4 and finished 7 points behing the winners.

An excellent result for ou new team and many thanks to everyone that played and especially Thomas, our Captain, for his leadership and organisation. Any readers who would like to play tean squash – please contact the Club.

12/11/23 This year we had a record number of 22 players who took part. In the first semi final Sean defeated Stephen whilst in the second Glen had to retire in his match against Evan.

The final was a closely contested match in which Evan emerged as a 2-0 winner watched by an appreciative crowd.

Earlier in the event results went largely as the ranking but with excellent wins for our juniors Michael and George.
